Chapitre 388: Chapter 142: Ping'an Calms the Sea, Artifact Refining Causes Ripples

```

The half month following the Sea Watch Sect's lecture was the most absurd half month Li Ping'an had experienced in his cultivation journey to date.

In the beginning, he hadn't paid much attention to this 'ingenious' lecture.

Then, a sale, a father's love, and an accolade caused the situation to spiral out of control.

The incident originated from his lecture to the Sea Watch Sect's Inner Sect Disciples, wherein he essentially spun a yarn.

In truth, Li Ping'an didn't consider it a lecture, it felt more like a 'success talk'.

Only, the core concept of his speech wasn't about striving, but [happiness].

'Are you happy?'

'No, you're not happy.'

'What you have is merely a sense of satisfaction from setting goals for yourself and then meeting them, a satisfaction that's fundamentally conjured out of thin air and doesn't stem from your heart.'

Wasn't this line of talk just a blatant case of bamboozling people?
